Shōken-ji, Buddhist temple in Kami-Takada, Japan

Shōken-ji is a temple featuring wooden buildings nestled within a carefully designed garden space. The grounds include meditation areas and display the architectural characteristics typical of Japanese Buddhist temples.

The temple was founded during a period of Buddhist expansion in Japan and became an important center for religious teachings in the region. It has maintained this role as a spiritual hub for the local community ever since.

The temple serves as a gathering place where local residents participate in traditional Buddhist ceremonies and rituals throughout the year. These observances are woven into the rhythm of community life in Kami-Takada.

The temple is accessible by public transportation and welcomes visitors who wish to explore at a leisurely pace. You can obtain information about opening hours and visiting guidelines by contacting the temple directly.

The temple grounds include designated meditation areas where both Buddhist practitioners and visitors can engage in contemplative practice. These spaces are specifically arranged to support quiet, focused reflection.
